Fergie's double vision

To be in this position feels comfortable for me. I’ve been there before

Owen Hargreaves

The £18m midfielder claimed he and his team-mates have the bottle to take the closest title race in nine years right to the wire.[>

And he called on personal experience to back up his belief that United won’t crumble – even if the pressure is rising as the clock ticks down at Wigan on Sunday.[>

[>

Hargreaves, recalling his own dramatic experience at Bayern Munich in 2001, said: “We won the Double in the 93rd minute by scoring against Hamburg to win the league.[>

[>

“Then, three days later we won the Champions League on penalties. We couldn’t have left it any longer or made it any more difficult than that.[>

[>

“To be in this position feels comfortable for me. I’ve been there before.[>

[>

“At the beginning of the season, if someone had said we had 90 minutes to win the league we’d have jumped at that. We’re in a good position. I think we are full of confidence. We were always confident we’d beat West Ham last Saturday.[>

[>

“Wigan did themselves a favour by winning at Villa so, this game doesn’t mean a lot for them, but for us it means everything.[>

[>

“We’ll just take these games one by one – that’s the most important thing. First we have 90 minutes to play in which we can win the league.[>

[>

“It’s a great position to be in and we are ready for it. There’s no midweek game, we can put in some good training sessions and be ready for the weekend.”[>

Hargreaves has only recently established himself in the United team, following months of frustration with a succession of niggling injuries.[>

[>

But he has frequently played at right-back, as opposed to his regular central midfield role.[>

[>

Now, Hargreaves hopes to stay in the side for this massive match – but insists he is more concerned that the team clinches the big prize, by pipping Chelsea and claiming a 10th Premier crown.[>

[>

He said: “You just have to play and do a job for the team. There’s a bigger picture than me or any individual. It’s about us winning the league.[>

[>

“It’s not just the players but also the staff. The energy and time that everyone puts in here is what makes it such a special place.[>

[>

“For all of them to see us win the league would be a fabulous moment. [>

[>

“You have to leave personal issues aside and just go out on the pitch and give everything we have for 90 minutes.[>

[>

“We’ll prepare by doing the same things that got us here. I don’t think we need to change anything at this stage.[>

[>

“We’ve had a really good season, that’s why we’re top of the Premier League.[>
